	The Great Disappointment of 1844
		Rather, "The Great Disappointment of 1844" performs the invaluable service of sifting through the last generation of scholarship on the subject to provide a narrative that is both readable and current.
		The optimism of America in the early decades of the 19th century was reflected in the "postmillennial" view of history that underlay the great outbreak of religious revival and social reform that we know as the Second Great Awakening.
		All the great social movements of the period were also informed by the millennialist "Social Gospel." However, though evangelicals took part as individuals in the general historical process, they did not engage the great issues on a soteriological level.

	Great Disappointment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Great Disappointment was a period in the early history of certain Christian denominations in the United States, which began when Jesus failed to reappear on the appointed day of October 22, 1844 as some Christians had expected.
		Miller recorded his personal disappointment in his memoirs: "Were I to live my life over again, with the same evidence that I then had, to be honest with God and man, I should have to do as I have done.
		The Great Disappointment is viewed as an example of how the psychological phenomenon of cognitive dissonance manifests itself through failed prophecies which often arise in a religious context.

	The Sanctuary and the Great Disappointment, James S. White, SDA Pioneer Writings
		Our disappointment did not arise from mistaking the manner and object of the second advent; for no truth is more distinctly stated in the sacred Scriptures than the personal and visible second appearing of Jesus Christ to raise the righteous dead, change to immortality the living righteous, and to destroy the unbelieving world.
		Miller, as a false prophet, and the Advent faith as a failure, simply because he was mistaken on one point in four, and when that one mistake was of such a nature as to be scripturally corrected without in the least changing or weakening any other point.
		All this I affirm to be gratuitously and groundlessly asserted.

	Ellen White & Adventism - From the Great Disappointment to A Worldwide Movement
		I began to look into the great wealth of readily available material on the most important figure in Adventism and discovered that, as is the case with most religious figures, Ellen White is a much more complex figure than that usually presented by either her critics or supporters.
		Disappointed Millerites believed that the "bridegroom's delay" would be short; all that they were called upon to do was to "watch and wait" in eager anticipation.
		The advantages of "God's great remedies" of air, water, and light over "doctors and their drugs," women's dress reform (also a pet project of Jackson), echoes from the popular temperance movements of the time, and dietary restrictions, including the avoidance of meat, were urged upon Adventists.

	Concerning Disappointment And Success
		The poor cabman is successful or is disappointed, according as he sees, while the hours of the day are passing over, that he is making up or not making up the shillings he must hand over to his master at night, before he has a penny to get food for his wife and children.
		Very much disappointment arises from a man’s having an absurd over-estimate of his own powers, which leads him, to use an expressive Scotticism, to even himself to some position for which he is utterly unfit, and which he has no chance at all of reaching.
		Disappointment, I have said, is almost sure to be experienced in a greater or less degree, so long as anything remains to be wished or sought.

		The disappointment itself led them to the surprising discovery that this understanding was incorrect and was out of harmony with the broader context of the whole Bible.
		Contrary to the expectations of their enemies, the disappointment did not mark the end of a group of deceived enthusiasts; it became instead the theological touchstone and rallying point of a dynamic new movement with a mission to prepare the whole world for Christ's return.
		Christ gave the disappointed Adventists a new prophetic commission with a world-wide scope in which the heavenly sanctuary was to occupy a prominent place.

	The Great Disappointment
		This day was perhaps the greatest disappointment to befall the church in the history of the New Dispensation.
		In 1966, the year 1975 207 was officially embraced as the last year marking the end of the six-thousand-year period since the creation of Adam, not 1872 208 or 1873 209 or 1972 210 as was once taught.
		God had led His people in the great Advent movement, His power and glory had attended the work, and He would not permit it to end in darkness and disappointment, to be reproached as a false and fanatical excitement.

	Adventist Deaf Ministries : Keepers of the Flame Open Captioned Videos
		Filmed on location throughout the world, written and narrated by Dr. Allan Lindsay, this series highlights the history of the Christian church, beginning with the great apostasy, presenting dramatic re-creations of Reformation scenes, the SDA Church formation, and the gift of prophecy, and concluding with the Lord’s return.
		Here is an in-depth look at three historical factors that established the Seventh-day Adventist church: the resolution of the Great Disappointment through Bible study, the keeping of the seventh-day Sabbath at a small church in New Hampshire, and the gift of prophecy coming to two men and a frail woman named Ellen Harmon.
		Allan Lindsay’s epilogue examines the biblical role of the Adventist Church as the great controversy moves toward its climax.

		It is not the great cathedral, neither is it the national establishment, neither is it the various denominations; it is the people who love God and keep His commandments.
		Some say with great confidence that the sinners in Zion will be the ones who are sifted out while the church remains.
		The great sifting is going to separate those who profess the truth (but do not live it) from the faithful souls who have always constituted the true church of God on earth—those who not only profess the truth but live it out.

		The great unknown is whether she is a conservative.
		He should have nominated another great conservative, and dared the Democrats to filibuster him: the resulting political fallout might have changed the dynamics of Bush's second term in the administration's favor, and we would have wound up with another great jurist on the bench.

		As far as he was concerned, it was all a misunderstanding and at first 'a great disappointment.

		On the other hand, there are some surprisingly melodramatic and graceless lines that even some of the better actors spout at their own risk of mockery.
		To be fair, Farrell, (Point Break-mullet and all) is pretty decent in the lead role, even when he has some crazy lines to try to pull off.
		He's never Colin the Great, any more than his role is "great" (as the script goes out of its way to prove) and he leads a cast-worth of actors whose home-accent taints their multi-cultural characters' tongues.
